Question about hypoglycemia and diabetes?
I’m 19, my father was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 22
I have never worried much about it .. I know this isn’t a security, but i’m tall and slender, was in sports so I felt healthy
I had a kidney condition, it messed with my blood pressure a bit .. I had passed out once at work from it
But have since had surgery and seems to have been successful
in the past month i’ve had two episodes while i’m working where I suddenly get really shaky, a little bit of tunnel vision, a heat flash, a light headed ..
from what i’ve read this sounds like hypoglycemia, but it’s similar to the feeling of when I passed out from the kidney thing
could this just be something common, maybe from not having enough for breakfast?
I guess i’m not starting to worry about diabetes being in my family and that this may be a warning sign …
what should I do?

If you think you might be diabetic, your doctor can do a quick test to make sure. All they do is prick your finger and test your blood sugar. If you live in the UK, your local chemist should be able to do it without an appointment. Otherwise, go see your doctor. Good luck!
